In other words, use of E Ink screen is very restrictive. Where is it not possible to take notes with your laptop open, and more efficiently?

This is dual OLED screen, just to make the thing smaller. Nothing to do with e-ink. I predict it will not ship (just as foldable smartphones aren’t ready yet). Then there’s the question of why anyone would buy it, or why anyone would prefer it to a non-folding (and more trouble free) screen.
True. And true. However progress can be slow and circuitous and remember when Pads with pens were ridiculed by Steve Jobs and others.

I keep my little (about 4 x 3 x 1/2 inch) Electronic Franklin with it's Dictionary and Thesaurus and "Bookman cards insertion slot on my bigger computer desk just to remind me of that.
